SideQuest Games: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I always have such a great experience when shopping with SideQuest games. I order mainly online, but have stopped into the store a couple of times. In store shopping is amazing and there is always some cool finds waiting to be added to my collection. Their online website is equally as great as you know exactly what you're getting based on the condition descriptions and the orders are packed extremely well. I've purchased everything from Nintendo 64, Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Advance, to Xbox, Playstation and more. They have very fair prices and everything is always amazing quality and very clean. Do not hesitate to shop here for all your retro video game needs as this video game store is one of the best in the Portland metro area. If you do not live locally their online shop is the next best thing. Will be back for more very soon!
Fantastic experience: Great place that does excellent repairs.
Negative experience: I really wish I didn't have a gift card for this place every time I walk in I've never gotten greeted but everyone else who walks in seems to The two gentlemen working today couldn't be bothered to break from the conversation to ask me if I needed help with anything while I'm staring at a case that I can't get into very unprofessional very disappointed with the customer service I wish I didn't have to come back but unfortunately it's a $50 gift card... Sure I could have asked for help but it seemed like it would have been an inconvenience for them.
Positive experience: Different games nice people don't give much back on trade ins
We appreciate you acknowledging our kindness. Trade in values are based on market conditions and current inventory. I wasn’t involved in your trade in, however, I’m willing to go through it with you item by item to understand the offer process. We hope to earn your business.
Fantastic experience: They have the pokemans. The guy Alex helped my son picked one out.
Thank you, Charlie! We're glad to hear that Alex was able to help your son find the perfect Pokémon. We appreciate your support!
Fantastic experience: I ordered some retro games from their website online. They had TREMENDOUS prices. All the games arrived in great shape faster than I expected. Super happy with the products, service, and costs. Shipping was very cheap too.
Fantastic experience: Always friendly! Have purchased multiple games and a used switch (animal crossing style). Have had the switch about 6 years now and it still works wonderfully! It looked new even though it was used. We have purchased both new and used games there and the used have been just as good of quality as new. Prices are always reasonable. Anytime we are looking for game items this is the place we go!
Fantastic experience: SO HAPPY to have FINALLY gotten my hands on a Lords of the Fallen Collector's Edition. Price was good, quality was as stated in the description, and shipping was smooth.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, huge inventory. Will definitely be back soon!
Thank you, Jason! We're glad you enjoyed our friendly staff and large inventory, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to get games, consoles and accessories. Store staff is friendly and knowledge. One of my favorite video game shops in Portland.
Fantastic experience: Went for their giveaway event on Sept. 13th, and the store was so nice! Friendly staff, good prices, and lots of cool stuff!
Fantastic experience: It’s a great store. I think I was one of their first customers. I miss going there and spending an hour looking at everything. The most important thing about Josh is he doesn’t sell junk, and cares a great deal about the quality of items for sale.
Fantastic experience: I took my grandson and his PS5 in to see why it wasn't working. The gentleman looked at it right away and figured out it was a bad cord with in a few minutes. I will definitely go back again. Thank you for the great service
Fantastic experience: Top 3 retro game store in the Portland metro area!
Fantastic experience: Great store !! very well stocked , great prices. Very clean as well .
Fantastic experience: Best shop around! The staff here is amazing. The are great with kids and adults who know zero about games. Great trade value. Great prices. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this team.
Fantastic experience: Top notch video game store with a lot of nostalgia. Great staff to help with any questions you may have. I had to sell some of my prized consoles and games, which included (2) Factory Sealed SONY PS4 STAR WARS & PS4 PRO STAR WARS consoles with additional games. In addition I sold a "Limited Edition-Mt. Dew" ORIGINAL XBOX - also (NEW) along with games. Alec took the time make to examine everything and give me top dollar and treat me with the up most respect. Highly recommended store. 5 Stars all the way.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Ordered games of their website. Was delivered in wonderful condition. Very well packaged. Comparable to ebay prices.
Fantastic experience: This is a great game store. Everything from Atari to the current generation for both consoles and games. Prices are very fair, same with trade values. They also have a good Pokemon card selection. The team, Alec, Josh, and Jake are all great to work with. I couldn't recommend SideQuest more.
Fantastic experience: Fast shipping! Great packaging! Everything worked perfectly! Will definitely order from again!
Fantastic experience: Ordered some games and the shipping was fast and the games arrived in great condition, as described. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: This store is my favorite in the entire Portland area. It is a must visit if you are currently or ever were a console gamer. Be prepared for a blast of nostalgia and finding your new favorite place to spend your hard earned money!
Fantastic experience: The people working at this shop are super friendly and easy to work with. They are willing to work on pricing of items and are quick to get items shipped out. Great sellers and great prices!
Thanks for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing! If you’re a game collector or card collector this is your place. Where most places just do a set price on vintage cards, the staff gives you the most fair deal by actually checking the actual value from auctions.
Positive experience: Had to deal with a return and who I could assume was the manager was very professional about the whole situation he was also dealing with phone calls and other customers all while complaining a Return/Exchange for another console and also hooked up my friend with chords for his PS2. It was a very pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful store, friendly staff, great prices. I first encountered SideQuest Games at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. I am really glad I made the trip to the store. The place honors and celebrates retro gaming like no other store I’ve visited. They even gave me a fantastic restaurant recommendation nearby. I will definitely return. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: just stumbled upon this store, Best vintage collection I have seen. reasonable prices as well.
Fantastic experience: What a phenomenal shop. Super friendly and helpful staff. Very fair and up to date pricing. A great place to go if you’re a fan of the Pokemon TCG. This place has so many things that you would normally have to scour the internet for all in one place. I’m pumped that I found this place. 11/10 recommend.
excellent review
Fantastic experience: My experience here was perfect and extremely inviting. I will definitely be back. I’m an hour away from here, and it was worth it. I rarely review places so I hope that’s saying something. The guys there at the counter were so friendly and I could tell they were passionate collectors who love talking to other gamers. The store itself felt like a hidden gem reminiscent of a 2000s era Hollywood video and less of a museum of cool/rare games at 125-150% market. My visit - I happened to be in the area getting lunch with my big box of PS3 games that I left in my trunk. I visited their website recently and saw they had Gauntlet DL for GC that I wanted to see in person. Most, if not all, games were at market or under. After a quick conversation, we processed some games and talked numbers for trades that I was happy with. They offered 50-60% market for trade ins, with a strong preference for good condition games to avoid disc/gameplay issues which was okay with me! It was a very fair transaction, especially compared to the other ones in my area offering $1/game sometimes! Got $170 in credit and put some cash on top to get Pokémon Colosseum, Zelda Four Swords, and a couple region free N64 tray slots. If they end up getting manuals for them, PM me! :-)
Fantastic experience: Awesome selection, fair prices and a friendly owner make SideQuest Games a great local shop.
Fantastic experience: Classic vintage console cards accessories and all that jazz. I've bought and sold pokemon cards and some wii games and they've been fair and been great to work with!
Fantastic experience: Variety here was excellent and neatly organized. You could tell they really cherished the place with how clean and put together things were. Insanely reasonable prices and in excellent conditions. Recovered many of my fav childhood jrpgs without my wallet weeping. Staff was chill. Took a chance on coming to a new spot and absolutely will return.
Fantastic experience: Best game store. I’ve been to many video game stores across the country and SideQuest is truly my favorite. Always a great selection of games from very high end to cheap options. Tons of random video game memorabilia. Prices are always at or below market prices. Staff is always super helpful and actually love video games. Highly recommend for any retro gamer.
Fantastic experience: We shop here regularly for games for our PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. The only time a game didn't work, they refunded with no issues. We went in for their black Friday sale and got a great deal! 15% off our purchase and, after I said something to my son about selling sports games because neither one of us play them, they grabbed Heavy Rain as the free game for coming in and I spun the wheel for a free $10-15 game and received a shrink wrapped copy of Infamous Second Son. Well worth our stop in!
Fantastic experience: Really great store. We were in for Black Friday and they had 15% off everything and everyone got a free game. My sister spun the prize wheel and won a Pokemon booster pack! It was a great experience!
Fantastic experience: Super generous and cool place. They gave away a ton of free stuff on black friday and have great deals. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Stopped in for the first time on Friday. The staff was very nice and helpful and the games I had hoped to find were considerably cheaper than the store I normally go to. This coupled with the great black Friday discount/promotion made for a wonderful and worthwhile experience! I will definitelybe shopping here again!
Fantastic experience: Listen, Zambia Head clearly didn’t read the signs or whatever about the Black Friday promotion. I’ve always had a great experience at this store and have never experienced being misled or false advertising. Will always support this small business.
Fantastic experience: Very nice staff. I've found them through YouTube by Metal jesus rocks, and I've been going ever since he stopped by
Fantastic experience: A go-to for retro games and consoles. Fair prices, great staff, always good stuff in stock. I have snagged some TREASURES at SideQuest, both the shop and at the convention they put on. Definitely worth a stop.
Fantastic experience: I had been to their convention before in downtown, which was a wonderful experience packed with so many vendors and games I was absolutely floored! For Black Friday, they advertised an extremely generous free game for coming, and a free wheel spin for those that spent $10 or more, with gifts as high as $100 on the wheel. They had way more people than staff, and after browsing around I asked up front about the game, and was handed a free game. I ended up purchasing a couple other games and spun for a discount on my purchase. This place is too cool, very passionate about games, and even more passionate about the community. You could feel the love, and hear the employees kindly work through all the customers and questions. I hope you get the chance to stop by soon, and be sure to keep an eye out for their conventions in downtown!
Fantastic experience: We don't usually go out on black Friday but love this shop and decided to support them. They also had a gaming console we wanted. They were VERY busy. We got our free game when we checked out and spun the wheel. We got a free item between $50-100. I commented that I was hoping for 20% off so we'd get an additional discount on the console. The employee said, "we can do that" (the discount fell between the 50-100). I was very thankful. We made our purchase, for our free game and left. We love this shop and stop every time we eat in the shopping center. I highly recommend it. They are also super friendly.
Fantastic experience: The guy and team that run the shop are real darn nice. It is a newer retro/hobby game shop with video games, collector items for games, some pokemon, and consoles. It is stocked and run as a true passion project. I think you can really tell the level of care and energy being put into the place to get all of these really cool finds from our childhoods. The prices are fair and I don't think the owner is trying to gouge you at all. I very much want this place to stay open and for them to do well. If you're thinking about stopping by you should at least see what they have picked up. I have gone several times in the past month and consoles, displays, and large arcade games keep changing and swapping around. There are a lot of neat things in here.
thank you
Fantastic experience: Great store! Great selection and great prices! Awesome customer service! Will definitely check them out anytime I’m in the area!
Fantastic experience: This. Place. Has. Everything! Literally everything!! And the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. There’s a girlie there named Deavon, who is, maybe one of the best customer service people I’ve ever met?? Like she’s so friendly and hilarious, and if she can’t answer a question she will find the answer & like 5 interesting facts she learned along the way! highly recommend stopping in if you get the chance!
Fantastic experience: Very wide variety of games and toys alike! Staff is friendly and compensating and the prices are more affordable than any GameStop I've been to! Id shop here every day if I could
Fantastic experience: Great store and visited after Metal Jesus did a video about this store. I am a retro game collector and typically stick to NES and SNES games. SideQuest games has a decent catalog, is pretty fairly priced, and offers standard trade in deals. The catalog appears to be online, but I am not sure how often it is updated. As I mentioned, I mostly stick to NES and SNES games. I browsed their selection and found it to be pretty standard. They have most of the games you would think of and want. As far as their prices go, they appear to be typical for a retail location. It's also important to remember that retail store have to cover rent, payroll, and taxes. Could you find a better deal online? Probably. Do you have to wait for shipping or run the risk of your item not being true to the online description? Yes. Sometimes it's worth paying an extra $5-10 to get the game right away and know the condition immediately. SideQuest games also has a clearance/discount game section in the front of the store which is pretty awesome to see. You wont find a copy of Earth Bound in the bin, but there are some pretty solid Tecmo sports games. If you are looking to trade in, SideQuest offers pretty standard trade in valuation. You likely wont find a store in Portland that will offer you more than SideQuest. I am not sure if they ever run any trade in deals or not. All in all, SideQuest is a pretty solid game store. Prices are fair for retail and cheaper than some game stores in the area. Selection is pretty solid (probably depends on when you go), and their trade in offers are pretty good too.
Negative experience: My switch had an overheating problem, the battery melted the battery connector socket, so I took my switch here (since Nintendo wouldnt do anything to help me) with a new battery connector socket and they soldered the battery connector to the wrong area (I would have soldered it myself but I didn't have the tools). Now my switch turns on to a static screen and the controllers vibrate continuously until I hard turn it off, it also makes an extremely loud long beep. When they gave it back to me, they obvioiusly didn't do a turn on test and they didn't even close the thing back up. They left it taken apart in a gallon sized bag so when I got back home I had to screw the back panel back on to it by myself.
Fantastic experience: I'm treated great by everyone at SideQuest Games! One thing that stands out to me is the Game Boxes are Clean and Label Free! What a plus, not to have to clean gum labels off your "new to you game." They give me good deals on my trades. The Xbox One X I bought works like a champ. Two Thumbs Up!
Fantastic experience: First time buyer called ahead to see if a product was in stock, told it was, drove immediately and was welcomed into their space, great selection of games and accessories and had the pleasure of dealing with friendly staff, I only bought an accessory on the day, but will return again to buy more games etc, great store and great location, not to mention A GOOD PARKING LOT really helps
Fantastic experience: So I've had a chance to so business with this company several times now, and they are great, knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. With a freaking awesome selection of hard to find stuff. Would recommend all the time. Repairs as well.
Fantastic experience: I like this place but have gotten away from buying from stores as prices have skyrocketed everywhere . Though I have to say the owner does great things for the community and has opened up a lot more doors for gamers and collectors. I do come in from time to time because it is a cool store.
You will always find better deals buying from people that don't have overhead. You can however make deals at our store. You just need to be vocal. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Of all the metro area gaming stores I've visited this place has the most reasonable prices, and a great selection! When the Xbox360 I purchased had issues they were quick to make it right by replacing the defective part at no additional cost. Highly recommend this place for your retro gaming needs. Friendly, honest service.
Fantastic experience: Excellent selection. The staff is always nice and very helpful. They definitely know there stuff. Great deals on most everything there. Best thing is, they have the old school games and systems. Myself and my kids appreciate that.
Fantastic experience: I bought my super Nintendo here in great condition! The associate who helped me, Alec, was super friendly. I will be coming back. Big thumbs up!
Fantastic experience: Just had the opportunity to speak to owner and they went above and beyond expectations. Really appreciate how much he was willing to help and how accommodating was. Would give them more stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: I love this place. They are super friendly and have a great selection of video game history with games and consoles from the last 40+ years of gaming.
Negative experience: Mediocre pricing, spotty service, successful in 1/2 repairs. Unless you’d prefer a long wait and no updates on your requested service I’d go somewhere else. A sob story about how busy you are does relatively little for either of us when I come in a month later after 1-2 week eta and the store is dead and the repair unfinished. Despite 3 calls and one message about status on my end communication is the problem even though i initiated 100% of it.
Fantastic experience: I love this store. They always have a great selection at fair prices. If you are gaming on a budget, they do have a clearance section too. Whether you are a casual gamer or a hardcore collector, this store has something for everyone. They also sell new titles for Xbox, PS and Switch too. They have excellent staff too. Really great people. Can't recommend this store enough.
Negative experience: I was in a few days to return a N64 3 days after I bought it, because it didn’t work on my TV. The person that helped me wasn’t that friendly. I wanted my hard earned money back, but instead gave me store credit that I’m never going to use. I will never ever go back. don’t waste your hard earned money here.
Negative experience: The store used to be great when it first opened things for the most part things were priced reasonably and the selection was nice. But after a few years things nosedived to the point where it just isn't worth it beyond being a place to window shop and it only seems to be getting worse. There are worse stores for sure but to say SideQuest games is good in its current state would be a complete lie. People should shop around more whether they go to other stores websites etc. An important note for people reading this the owner may reply to this review justifying his pricing know that for the most part his current prices fly way outside the current ranges on sold prices. I highly suggest people do research into anything they consider buying as this store capitalizes on those who don't.
When is the last time you made an offer before leaving the store? We have hundreds of happy customers per week. What makes you more special then them?
Fantastic experience: As parents of teenagers, we often find it difficult to get quality family time. At Sidequest we find all the latest games as well as the nostalgic games we remember playing as kids. The store is very well organized and stocked with something for everyone. We’re trying to make it a regular family outing to get ice cream and a new game. We have had some great family fun playing together!
Fantastic experience: I've been a recurring customer since they opened and service from the staff is always excellent. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Large store with large selection plus they can do console cleanings and repairs. I've gotten some of my best stuff from them over the years. Check their Facebook and website for updates on new incoming products.
Fantastic experience: Whether you are a hardcore collector or recapturing the magic of your childhood, this store has the best inventory in the area. Josh and his team are doing a great job!
Fantastic experience: I love this place! Brought in a stack of old optical media to be resurfaced and spent 45 minutes just looking around at the HUGE selection and enjoying some free-play arcade Ms. Pac-Man and Double Dragon with my kid. A treasure on McGloughlin!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful shop! They have new and old games as well as old gaming magazines. Walking through the shop, I get that feeling I remember when I went into game crazy as a kid. Please check this place out and support them over GameStop!
Fantastic experience: This store has everything for your retro gaming needs... From commons like Mario and Zelda to boxed retro consoles and Turbografx! The staff is very friendly and eager to help you find that lost piece of nostalgia that you are looking for. Highly recommend if you're in the Portland area and looking to beef up your collection.
Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly/knowledgable people. Tons of selection - from the newest to some of the oldest. One of the only places that I've seen that actually have a selection of Philips CD-i VideoCD movies (left with one :D). Had "big box PC games" too. We aren't local, but if we were - we would go back again.
Negative experience: We visited this place for disk buffing with high hopes but left with mixed feelings. They initially quoted a 1-hour for 26 disks, both on the phone and in-store when we dropped off the disks. However, our actual wait turned into a lengthy 2.5-hour experience. After 1.5 hours, we decided to give them a call because we hadn't heard from them, as promised. They informed us that it would be another hour, citing unexpected delays. They explained later that it was taking longer than expected, assuring us that they hadn't forgotten about our disks when we asked for the reason for the delay. But, I must admit, we had our doubts. The extended wait and the uncertainty left us feeling less than satisfied with the service, especially since we had to significantly change our plans, and we had traveled quite a distance to get there for their specialized disk buffing equipment.
Fantastic experience: Great place! They have all kinds of games, consoles, and accessories. They have a lot of old games but also sell new games for new consoles. Even have a fair return or exchange policy. Had to return a cracked game and they were able to exchange it within a few minutes
Fantastic experience: I love this place! Great variety of older games and some newer, what they have in older makes up for what they don’t have in newer games. Overall though great shop! Can’t wait to take my lil bro here, he’s going to lose his mind! Lol
Fantastic experience: I took my two sons ages 8 and 10. They loved the store and settled on Pokemon cards. The staff was helpful. As an older person I got a kick out of seeing systems I haven't seen since I was a kid.
Fantastic experience: While visiting Portland I hit up all the retro game stores in the area, and this was by far my favorite one. Things were reasonably priced, they had so many cool things to look at, and they were very helpful. I left with some really cool treasures!
Fantastic experience: Very nice place with tons of retro consoles and games. It's nice place full with fellow needy people including the staff. Overall, a very pleasant store
Fantastic experience: Always good service and always rare and interesting gaming items. Prices tend to skew a little high but the condition and good service make up for it. Good people and a great business if you like games new and old!
Fantastic experience: Great retro gaming store! The staff are polite and super knowledgeable and the prices are not insane. Keep up the amazing work
Fantastic experience: I've had nothing but good experiences with the staff. They're very knowledgeable about gaming and are very nice people! Definitely stop by!
Fantastic experience: Came in with some used games. Staff was very helpful, and gave me some good Switch suggestions for my son and I. Out of my way, but like the setup/atmosphere over other local stops that are closer.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and lots of high quality inventory. We watched the staff help out a couple recoup a purchase and work with some kids who wanted to trade in their old consoles. Genuinely nice people! And their game selection was great. Rare titles for all the consoles. Especially Game Boy! Saw a few titles you never see in big city shops. They also had Pokemon cards and other collectibles but the focus was definitely on the games. The prices are slightly above market price, but that's pennies for the service they provide!
Fantastic experience: This is my go to shop, for all my retro games. Everything I’ve received from them is always in amazing condition, never had any issues. And personally I think the prices are great compared to other places.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and great selection of retro games! Went to another retro store in the area to get a GBA cartridge fixed and they told me it was not fixable. Came to SideQuest and they had it up and running for me. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful customer service & the best price I’ve found! I don’t know much about gaming but when I was quoted $250 to fix my son’s PS5 (re-thermal & cleaning). I thought that was excessive. These guys quoted were $125.00 cheaper. I’ll go to them for everything from now on & tell all of the other gamer moms too! Thanks so much for not breaking the back & being so nice!!!
Positive experience: It’a a great place for people to check out. Tons of nice games and selection too but the selling can be upsold. Usually you have to ask to be sold here and wanted games are super pricey for a discount store. I’d rather go platinum to be honest but the struggle is real!
Fantastic experience: Great retro store. Staff helpful and friendly even over phone. And they possess a multitude of iconic gaming consoles and games for sale.
Fantastic experience: Come to this place all the time, it’s my favorite game shop in the city. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Also the games are well priced.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Good selection of games, consoles & a little but of everything! Amazing staff as well, will continue to come back !
Fantastic experience: Their store is very big and nice. All the games were in excellent condition and the prices are very reasonable. I bought a couple special edition video games (haven't played them yet), but I can already tell they will run just fine. Appreciate the business and plan on getting my retro fix taken care of going by shopping with these folks.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: Always been amazing, I found this place in 2021, and was shocked I had not heard/seen of it before. Since then I have become a somewhat regular, and have been amazed at their stock, friendliness, and fair prices. SideQuest has had everything I have wanted/needed for my retro and modern consoles along with hard to find and fairly priced easier to find video games/merchandise. Highly recommend this place, they also have a fairly priced repair service that has come in handy when I needed a 2DSXL part soldered. The consoles they sell are always clean (inside and out) and have been fairly priced and functioning, these are covered with a 7day warranty and gave me peace of mind and excitement to start them up immediately in case I needed a return/exchange.
Positive experience: This place is amazing. I didn't feel hounded or encrouched upon or like I was a bad person for browsing, unlike some other businesses. The person at the counter was very friendly, they had repeat customers who seemed happy and at ease it seemed. Clearence section and games/consoles that range from decades old to this year. Good stuff on the tvs. They also had a Shinsou sticker and that made my day. It's hard to find side character merch! Id love more side character merch and like, a lounge (I know I know) but this place is amazing.
Fantastic experience: Lovely store with lovely staff! Super helpful with my tons of questions, and patient! The store is always clean and well kept and there is always some to help with questions. Excellent recommendations! The prices are fair and if you ask why something is the price it is they explain! If you come into trade they have very fair trade in rates and explain to you why something is the price it is, and you can go instore credit or cash. I will be continuously supporting this store! Go small businesses!!
Fantastic experience: I had been wanting to visit this store for a long time and when I finally did, it exceeded my expectations! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, always willing to answer any questions. The game/ console selection is incredible and the prices are more than fair. The owner is among the most kind and generous people I've ever met, something rare in this world, and I am truly blessed to know him!

Fantastic experience: Great gaming store with a very in-depth collection of games for sale at reasonable prices. Very helpful team who will work with you if you have questions or just getting into collecting games. Check out their online store for updates on inventory.
Fantastic experience: The staff at this store always makes me feel welcomed, and they have a great inventory of retro games. Their prices are very reasonable and the store is clean and organized well. This is a must stop if you are a retro gamer like me!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful experience. Sales reps were super friendly and helpful, and I took advantage of their clearance rack which was absolutely one of the best deals I've ever gotten from a brick and mortar store. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: SideQuest Games is a great store, well laid out and always has interesting and rare games and merch. Kristen, who helped me primarily while I was in today, was attentive, friendly, and professional. The gentleman who was working with her also seemed like a knowledgeable and friendly person and was very quick to help and greet other customers while we were being helped by Kristen with our trade in and purchasing a Turbo Graphix mini I absolutely suggest going in to see the store, they have more than just games as well if someone needs a plushie, sticker, or decorative pin as a quick gift.
Fantastic experience: This is a top notch video place to buy games. Fast and very good service and great games that always clean and work. If some thing is not perfect they tell you in the discrimination of the game. My go to place for games. Give them a try !
Negative experience: Came for a PAL game and never said in return I would ONLY be getting store credit then claimed she said only store credit. I assumed I was getting my cash back if the game did not work on my system. The girl with the short colored hair just blank stared at me while I was asking her a question. I will not recommend this place to anyone nor will I return here. Then offerd 10$ for 2 games they sell for $35 each, what a JOKE.
Fantastic experience: I can't explain how happy I am with the service provided here. I came into this store for the first time today. As a retro videogame collector myself, I take pride in the mint quality of my older games. Not only did they sell me the games I was looking for at a really good price. They polished and gave me a 7 day money back on the items purchased. I couldn't be more happy. The people are happy to work there and that means so much to a person like me.
Fantastic experience: Super fast shipping! Game is in awesome condition! I will update how the game plays once i give it to my grand baby.
Fantastic experience: This store is giant! It’s very well organized, clean and they have sooo many different areas of gaming and movies. Their prices were good and friendly staff.
